Installing
Your Refrigerator
These instructions
were provided
to aid you in the installation
of your unit. Amana cannot be responsible
for
improper
installation.
How
do
I measure
an
opening
to insure
proper
fit?
This refrigerator was designed to fit a 69"
tall opening to allow for proper ventilation, leveling,
and door adjustments.
Please also take into account,
when measuring
space
for your unit, that some models require a certain
amount of clearance
around it to allow for proper air
flow. Proper air flow is key to keep your unit
running a optimum efficiency. To determine
measurements,
please reference the table below.
Subflooring
or floor coverings
(i.e. carpet, tile,
wood floors, rugs) may make your opening
smaller
than anticipated.
Some clearance
may be gained by using the leveling
procedure under How to Level Your Refrigerator.

How
to Transport
Your
Unit
Follow these tips when moving the unit to final location:
•
NEVER transport
unit on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay
unit on its back. Allow unit to sit upright for approximately
30 minutes prior
to plugging

Plugging unit in
immediately
may cause damage to internal parts.
•
Use an appliance dolly when moving unit. ALWAYS truck unit from its side-
NEVER from its front or back.
•
Protect outside finish of unit during transport by wrapping cabinet in
blankets or inserting padding between the unit and dolly.
•
Secure unit to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through

Overtightening
restraints may
dent or damage outside finish.
How
to Select
the
Best
Location
Observe these points when choosing the final location for your unit:
DO NOT install refrigerator
near oven, radiator, or other heat source. If not
possible, shield unit with cabinet material.
